The old standard hull materials are now starting to look kinda bad and dated compared to the more recent Type 6 and Type 7 materials.
Any chance them oldies could be reworked to the new standard of excellence set by the new textures?
Wouldn't it be better to just add more options instead of reducing the options we have?
Finally decided to make a sig.
I see allot of them with a character, and ship.
though I'm not sure which ship to put on there...
I'll think about it. This will do for now.

And while we're here, there're a couple of hull types I wouldn't mind seeing as account-wide unlocks...
Intelligence (unlock purchased at Z-store);
Crystalline (aesthetic reward from a future Crystalline Cataclysm)
But before all of that, I wonder how difficult it would be to have the unlocked ship aesthetics (i.e. from the Nukara space set) 'live' in the ship tailor, so that you can use them on any of that character's ships once they're unlocked.
Actually I would like to see that as well.
I can understand if it would be too difficult to get the more advanced bits such as the borg set pieces, but the shield graphics and engine/deflector FX would be nice as a cosmetic option.
Could add three new categories with unlocks tied to unlocking the complete sets like the ground gear.
Hull Overlay: Shield FX
Deflector Effect
Engine Trails
I wouldn't mind seeing fleet textures added to ships that don't currently have a fleet version if your character is a part of a fleet; namely the 10 console C-Store ships like the Odyssey and Bortasqu'.

Dangerous. You know there are always people that liked their old ship and found it neat looking, and then hate the change.
I don't know if you were around then, but once upon a time, Bird of Preys (and the Long Range Science Vessel Refits) didn't have moving wings. When Cryptic added that functionality, there were a very vocal (and probably very) minority that hated the change.
Their strategy of just adding new materials might be the best option.

Hear hear! I'd like to see new options added, essentially reworks of the old materials but following the same lines.
To be honest, I'd also love to have the option of changing the deflector texture separately, but that's not going to happen.
Bugfixes would be great too

We come in peace, SHOOT TO KILL!
It's spelled "hear, hear" NOT "here, here." The more you know...
Carry on.

Because they lower the overall visual quality standard of the game.
